FAQs
What type of surfaces is this broom best suited for?
This broom is ideal for heavy-duty outdoor cleaning on rough surfaces such as patios, driveways, concrete paths, and garden areas where debris can be stubborn.
Does this product come with a handle?
No, the broom head is sold individually and requires a separate purchase of a compatible 29mm (1-1/8") diameter broom handle.
Are the bristles natural or synthetic?
The bristles are a mix of natural bassine and cane, providing stiff and durable cleaning power.
How do I care for the natural bristles?
After use, shake off dirt and store the broom upright in a dry place. If rinsed, ensure it dries completely before storage. Avoid leaving it bristle-down on wet surfaces.
Is this broom suitable for indoor use?
While it can be used indoors in areas like garages or sheds, the stiff natural bristles are best suited for outdoor, rough surfaces and may be too abrasive for delicate indoor flooring.
What are the dimensions of the broom head?
The broom head measures approximately 330mm (width) x 17.00cm (depth) x 12.00cm (height).
Is the product environmentally friendly?
Yes, the broom is made from 100% natural and biodegradable materials, including the rubberwood head and natural bristles.
Troubleshooting
Broom handle won't attach securely.
Ensure the handle diameter is 29mm (1-1/8") and that the threads on both the handle and the broom head are clean and free from debris. Try gently wiggling the handle as you screw it in.
Bristles seem too stiff or are splayed.
For initial use, slightly dampening the bristles can make them more pliable. If bristles are splayed from storage, store the broom upright after use and avoid pressing down on them. For heavily splayed bristles, try soaking only the bristle tips in warm water for a short period, then allow to air dry upright.
Natural bristles are developing mold.
This can occur if stored while wet. Ensure the broom is completely dry before storing. If mold appears, clean the affected area with a mild soap and water solution, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Improve air circulation in the storage area.
Broom is not sweeping effectively.
Check for any obstructions or damage to the bristles. Ensure the handle is securely attached and the broom is being used at an appropriate angle for the surface. For very heavy debris, a back-and-forth sweeping motion might be more effective.
